Lakeithia ClaytonLCSW

Lakeithia Clayton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana who focuses on helping people through life changes and mental health challenges. She draws on five years of clinical experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Lakeithia takes a direct and compassionate approach and aims to make therapy practical and approachable for everyday life.

In sessions she listens for what matters most and helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck. She uses goal-focused tools to teach skills for coping with mood changes, low self-esteem, and grief. She also addresses parenting concerns, career stress, compassion fatigue, and issues that arise around pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum depression.

Her work blends short-term strategies with conversations about life purpose and meaning. Techniques come from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy also inform how she helps people reframe difficult stories and make forward movement.

People who prefer clear steps and collaborative planning tend to fit well with her style. Sessions emphasize practical skills alongside emotional processing. Lakeithia aims to help people build resilience and clearer next steps for daily life.

How her approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, stress, and moving through life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills for managing mood and anxiety symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience and emphasizes empathy and collaboration to strengthen self-understanding and agency.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort. That collaborative process can involve trying a technique and adjusting it until it feels useful.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing check-ins from different locations. It can also help people use shorter appointments for focused skill practice or schedule sessions around caregiving and work demands. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and client-centered work to an online setting while emphasizing practical strategies and ongoing planning.
